Become familiar with the payment plans available at NMU.

Northern Michigan University offers three options for the payment of tuition and fees and housing charges. Before each semester payment due date, you must choose one of the following payment options to avoid late fee charges.

Pay in full - we accept cash, check or credit card (Master Card, Visa and Discover).

High school guidance offices and local libraries are good sources of scholarship information. You may also wish to check with local organizations, businesses, churches and your parents' employers to see if scholarships are available. It is best to avoid any scholarship service that requires a fee since they cannot guarantee receipt of a scholarship.

Your financial aid pays to your student account.

Provided you have fully completed the financial aid process, your financial aid will be paid to your student account. This process will happen before the start of each semester as long as your requirements have been met, including maintaining satisfactory academic progress (SAP). Financial aid will be applied towards all authorized outstanding NMU charges before any student overage may be issued.
